Race Experts
by Elisabeth Lasch-Quinn
RACE EXPERTS uncovers the hidden trajectory and terms of our thinking about race relations since the 1960s. Since segregation's dismantling, intense anxiety has surrounded interracial encounters, and a movement has arisen to engineer social relations through the specification of elaborate codes of conduct. Diversity training in business, multicultural education in schools, and cross-cultural psychotherapy have created a world of prescriptions. Elisabeth Lasch-Quinn carefully analyzes the teachings of these self-appointed "experts" and offers a bold and searching analysis of the origins of their ideas in the human potential movement and the radical milieu of the 1960s. Casting race primarily as an issue of etiquette or therapy, rather than of justice or equality, has had dire consequences for American life, diverting attention from the deeper problems of poverty, violence, and continued inequality and discrimination. In this sobering analysis, RACE EXPERTS illuminates how far away we are from the issues that deserve our attention.

This is the first text of its kind, written for principals and other instructional leaders to help them understand current theories of teaching and learning as well as the practical curriculum applications of these perspectives. “The greatest strength of the Woolfolk Hoy text is the focus on instruction and developing leaders devoted to nurturing learner-centered campuses and classrooms.” Dr. Steve Jenkins — University of Texas of the Permian Basin “This text provides my students with a base of knowledge regarding exemplary instructional strategies as well as an illustration of what constitutes good teaching.” Robert J. Supku — Rider University New to this edition: New Feature—A Principal’s Perspective describes the experiences of an actual principal in dealing with a problem of practice related to the ideas and concepts of that particular chapter.
